As soon as today, the Sixers are expected to send restricted free agent John Salmons to the Suns for a second-round pick and a $1.8 million trade exception, according to Tom Moore of the PhillyBurbs.
Salmons will end up with a five-year, $22 million contract out of the deal, starting at $3.6 million and increasing annually by 10 percent, according to a source close to the situation.
